• 6 centres:
HPC-Europe
General BSC Presentation - México, April, 14th 2005 21
• CEPBA, CINECA and EPCC have been operating EC-funded visitor programmes since the early to mid-90s
• Emphasis on:
• Access to the Infrastructure
• Quality of scientific interaction with local community
• Guidelines issued by the EC
• Target “new” users of the infrastructure… especially if similar resources are not available within their own country
